REFLECTIONS ON THE DUKE PROGRAM

What were you looking for in a residency program?
I was seeking a program that would challenge me to grow both clinically and intellectually, while also providing strong support and emphasizing patient advocacy and community engagement. I was especially drawn to opportunities for research that bridge discovery and patient care, particularly in pediatric cardiology.
